Design and Implementation of a Computerized Perkins Brailler-Based Prototype

This paper addresses the challenges faced by blind individuals using Braille products by introducing a novel Perkins Brailler-based prototype. This affordable, portable, and user-friendly prototype computerizes the mechanical aspects of the Perkins Brailler using cost-effective electrical components, including push-type electromagnetic solenoids and a gear motor. The prototype enhances communication efficiency and speed for blind users, incorporating new features such as a soft keyboard and an audio feedback system. The design, including High-Level Design (HLD) and Low-Level Design (LLD), outlines the main processes and control circuits. Additionally, the paper details the 3D design, implementation, and results, demonstrating the prototype's effectiveness.
